| Summary: | Bronchial asthma is one of the most common
pathologies of the chronic diseases of childhood, recording
an ever-increasing frequency. The paper develops a
control-type case study on the carious experience of 25
children suffering from bronchial asthma, comparatively
with 25 healthy children. In both groups, the dmf-t/DMFT
indices were calculated and the presence of Streptococcus
mutans (SM) and Lactobacillus acidophillus (LA) in stimulated
saliva, in concentrations with high cariogeneity
risk, was determined.
Carious experience and the SM level in concentrations
with cariogenic risk were statistically significant in children
with bronchic asthma (p=0.02). The presence of LA
in concentrations with cariogenic risk was also higher in
these children, yet statistically insignificant, comparatively
with the reference (p>0.05). |
